So a little bit of why I LOVE photography.....Since I was about 18 I have LOVED taking photos, blowing photos up, framing photos etc....I ALWAYS was (&still am) the one in the group who always had a camera, ready to take photos;) Great shots, silly shots, whatever shots;)I have been very blessed to travel throughout my life, & I'd say the past 5-6 years of traveling, photography has been a big part of it. I have SOOO many photos from our travels, both near & far, & I treasure all of them! I have beautiful landscapes on canvas that I can seriously sit & stare @ forever, they are so beautiful to me, they never get old!

So speed up to "now" I had been asked by several people to take their family photos within the past year or so, & I was going to start my business up a little over a year ago, but I lost my mother unexpectedly & so the timing was off.Well, this summer the time was right;) & so here I am! & I HOPE I will be here for many more years to come!

As I began my new "adventure" in my life, w/the support of my hubby, & family I began to seek inspiration from photographers who's "style" I admire.

Tonight I am going to talk about 2 photographers that have really gotten me excited to really do this! One is a VERY well know photographer & director in photography, she is BIG time! & in my "next life" I want to be just like "Dani"! Dani Brubaker is her name, I'm sure her name doesn't ring a bell to most, but I GUARANTEE that you know her work! She has an AMAZING talent, I can't get enough when I look @ her work, truly beautiful! My niece "Rilla Weaver" has been in the business for several years, she had MUCH success w/modeling for Roxy, H&M, & Justice to name a few, & her mom Summer told me that Dani Brubaker was a BIG part of so many jobs Rilla booked, which is no surprise to me, Dani's work is nearly perfect.I will copy her FB page link down below, check her out, go to her website for more photos, she is awesome!Dani Brubaker

My NEXT inspirational photographer, whom I also have never met is Laci Davis. I found Laci's work on "pinterest" She has an AMAZING eye, I LOVE her style of photography! She uses beautiful color when editing, & you can tell that her clients love to work w/her! She's also a bit of a local "star" in UT. she has a segment on a local UT morning show called "studio 5"Here is the link below;)Studio 5 - Step Into Laci's Shoes: Heels

So If you live in UT. (Davis county) you have a very talented photographer that you must use!

My "style" is very similar to Laci's style. She is very fashion savvy, loves to find bargains & shares them:) & has a great time w/her shoots, it shows in her work! She has been an inspiration to me, & she doesn't even know it;)!Laci uses vibrant bold colors, unique locations & I love the way she edits her images.

Laci came up w/a very classy way of helping her clients (& non-clients) in "what do I wear for my photo shoot" question that EVERYONE always has! In fact, I'm still piecing together the "final" touches of my own family photo shoot wardrobe;)!I used much of Laci's "advise"w/my own twist on this subject, thanks Laci;)Here is Laci's FB page, check it out & "like" it, IK you will love to follow her, as I have;)Laci Davis Photography

Who knows...........MAYBE one day I will get to meet my two FAVORITE photographers;) Thank you ladies for being such unique artist & for inspiring me...........
